Express Entry in a nutshell

[TanakaM]

Hi,
I am making my express entry profile. Someone told me that I need to have the required funds in my bank account NOW i.e. at the time of submission of my profile. Is that so??
Secondly, if the answer is no, if I get ITA, I need to provide 6 months statement of my account, right?
My question is : do I need to have the full required amount (CAD 15,772) throughout the six months OR from the time of application will be fine??
Please advise me clearly regarding this. I am really confused and uncertain.
Thanks

Hi,

One can create a profile without the funds in your account.
The most straightforward way to do it is to have funds sitting in the account for 6 months, however you dont have to do this. If the funds are in the account for less than 6 months, you will need to submit a bank statement for the last 6 months and provide evidence of the source of these funds, eg, a gift deed or asset disposal records.
If all is clear, it will not affect your application at all.

All the best

Hi,

435 is a good score, be patient and you should get an ITA soon. Also look into Ontario PNP or adding another qualification to your bachelor's degree.

Regards

Last year minimum was 439, this year 30th Jan draw was a bit of relief 438. Not sure what next draw comes up with.
Adding something to education would be another 1 year Tanaka

Hello,

If I am a student(Indian national) pursuing my Master's in the UK, and I wish to work in Canada post my 1-year course of study, am I eligible to enter Canada through the express entry system? I do have 2-year work experience in India.

Thank you in advance!

Thank you so much for this write up. It is very informative and easy to understand. I have a question though. I was recently denied entry into the US because on a previous visit I stayed for 5 months and took up employment. My visitors visa was cancelled and I was barred from reapplying for 5 years. Will this affect my application for permanent residence in Canada? I am a Nigerian. Thank you.

Hello Everyone,

Appreciates a response from someone who has the knowledge about this.

Once I have submitted my online application (06/02/2019), I received a receipt called "Official Receipt" which includes amount, card details, expiry dates of the card & etc after making the payment. It only says "Official Receipt", not "Acknowledgement of Receipt". Should I expect to receive AOR in near future or the one I already received is the AOR even it only says, Official Receipt?

Thank you!

Hi,

I have a question. I have transferred work a year after I had created my express entry profile. Do I need to tell my agent to update my work experience? Will it help with increasing my CRS score? Thank you.

2. Can I take my medical exam before my application
3. What is the format for job offer that I suppose to attach to my documents.
4. Do I have to provide transcript from College in Canada or I can just upload my diploma.
- can I upload the transcript or they need the college to send them directly?
5. My work visa is suppose to expire in September but I was planing to go back home for a few months.
- can I give them my friends mail to deliver the PR or I have to sign when I receive it?

Hi,
My question is about the processing time for EE. On CIC website it's mentioned that it takes 6 months or less. Does it start from the time you get into the pool or from the time you get ITA or AOR?
Thanks gor your help in advance

I think this is just your receipt of payment since it only seems to mention the amount and card details. Here's a post I could find where someone mentions what an AOR would look like: https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/is-this-aor.83187/

But let me add another one where the guy also got a receipt like you it seems but it includes some other info: https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/what-is-aor-exactly-looks-like.279629/

Hi everyone
Does the work experience letter have to have the term "full-time" in its text body?
Or it just needs to contain working hour per week (more than 30 h/week) as it mentioned in the following link under "Proof of work experience" section, so the applicant can be considered as the full-time employee?

Thank you

Hey,

I have submitted my application through a consultant recently and I've been advised to put the term "Full-Time Employment" in the service letter. So, you should put that term in your letter. Also, if you see the above link in your post, it also says (underlined below),

• include the following details: expected start date, commitment that the applicant will be employed on a continuous, paid, full-time work, for work that is for at least one year after issuance of a permanent resident visa, job title, duties and responsibilities, current job status (if current job), number of work hours per week and annual salary plus benefits.

Also, only for full-time employment, you can claim the points. I think in Canada if you work 30 hours or more in a week count as full-time employment.

So in summary, you must put full-time as well as the number of working hours in the service letter if you are planning to claim the points for work experience.

The term "Permanent employment" is not a must, but, if it's possible for you to put that too, don't hesitate.

Hope this helps & good luck!
